A real, disclosed gap: no Forrest City-specific effective property tax rate found
This pass did not find a Forrest City-specific Ownwell effective property tax rate distinct from the St. Francis County median (0.80%, median annual bill ~$354) -- this record uses that county figure directly rather than fabricating a city-specific number. The City of Forrest City separately cites its own nominal millage rate at $9.26/$1,000 of appraised value, a distinct, non-comparable figure this record does not conflate with the county's effective rate (base record).
A real, disclosed sales tax gap
This pass did not independently confirm Forrest City's exact current combined sales tax rate -- disclosed as an honest gap; Arkansas's statewide average combined rate is 9.48% (Tax Foundation, 2026). Confirm the current combined rate directly with the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration.
Above-average statewide homeowners insurance, plus real flood-risk considerations
